Abstract

The biology material on the excretory system has a high level of learning difficulty, including the complexity of the material and the high level of abstraction, which can affect students' learning process and outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the internal and external sources causing learning difficulties by conducting research that aims to interpret: 1) the level of students' learning difficulties based on the cognitive level of the excretory system material, 2) the factors causing students' learning difficulties based on the cognitive level of the excretory system material. This research is a qualitative study using an ex post facto method conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Konawe Selatan. The subjects of this research are 56 Grade XI students who experience learning difficulties, and the biology teacher. The data collection techniques used are: 1) tests, which were analyzed descriptively statistically; 2) interviews, which were analyzed through four stages: collection, reduction, display, and conclusion, followed by testing the validity of the data through triangulation. The results of this research show that: 1) Students' learning difficulties viewed from the cognitive levels of each learning indicator on the excretory system material are generally categorized as slightly difficult with a percentage of 58.93%; 2) The factors causing students' learning difficulties are students' interest in learning, students' habits during the learning process, evaluation techniques, as well as family, school, and community environmental aspects.

Abstract

Global health questionnaire-12 (GHQ12) is the most common instrument used to measure mental health. However, the factor structure of the GHQ12 has not been fully explored. This study aims to assess the factorial structure of the GHQ12 and explore demographic factors associated with mental wellbeing in a population of prospective biology teachers in Indonesia. This cross-sectional survey was conducted for two weeks in July 2023 by recruiting 1186 students who were predominantly female (85.92%), over 20 years old (68.79%), only studying without working (90.47%), and third year (33.81%). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to extract and assess the suitability of the resulting models. GHQ12 scores were also reviewed concerning demographic characteristics using comparison tests. Two factors including depression and social dysfunction accounted for 58.78% of the variance. This two-factor model was confirmed to fit the actual data. Additionally, we found differences between men and women on both factors and total scores. In addition, there are differences between students who only study and those who work on depression factors. This study suggests that the factor structure of the GHQ12 is a valid and reliable measurement for evaluating the mental health of prospective biology teachers.

Abstract

Online learning can contribute to increased academic procrastination, often linked to low self-efficacy and perceived task value. This study investigates academic procrastination, self-efficacy, and task values from a gender perspective using a cross-sectional approach with students in their 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th semesters. An independent t-test assessed differences between male and female students. Findings showed no significant differences in academic procrastination across genders in any semester; however, notable differences in self-efficacy and task value emerged only in the 5th semester. The lack of significant differences in procrastination is attributed to similarities in environmental, psychological, and social factors, alongside common challenges in time management and distractions. Male and female students demonstrated comparable self-efficacy due to shared academic settings, social support, and media influences, while similar task values stemmed from common interests and experiences. The differences in the 5th semester likely arise from increased academic demands and evolving social dynamics, including gender stereotypes. Future research should employ qualitative methods, such as interviews or focus groups, to gain deeper insights into student experiences. Longitudinal studies could also track changes in self-efficacy and task value over time for a more comprehensive understanding. Targeted interventions to enhance self-efficacy and task value could be particularly beneficial in semesters with significant differences, thereby addressing academic procrastination more effectively.

Abstract

Waru leaves (Hibiscus tiliaceus) are a plant that has bioactive potential with pharmacological benefits. This study aims to analyze the phytochemical content of waru leaves qualitatively, quantitatively, in silico, and their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Qualitative analysis focuses on identifying bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, etc. The quantitative approach includes measuring total phenol and flavonoid levels using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. In silico studies were carried out using the KNApSAcK Family website to identify compound classes, NCBI to obtain SMILES, SWISS ADME to predict pharmacokinetics, and WAY2DRUG PASS Prediction to determine the probability of biological activity. Antibacterial testing uses the diffusion method to determine the MIC and MBC values. The results showed that waru leaves contain various bioactive compounds with total phenolic levels of 30.416 mg GAE/g extract and total flavonoids of -0.476 mg QE/g extract. In silico testing shows that Hibiscus tiliaceus has a unique bioactive compound, namely Hibiscoquinone A, which has potential as a drug candidate with antibacterial activity, lipid peroxidase inhibitor, and ubiquinol-cytochrome-c reductase inhibitor. Antibacterial testing of hibiscus leaf extract against E. coli using the diffusion method obtained MIC values ​​at concentrations of 15% and 30%. However, at these concentrations it did not show MBC values. This research provides scientific evidence regarding the potential of waru leaves as a herbal medicine in treating infectious diseases caused by bacteria.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the closure of almost all learning processes in Islamic boarding schools. Only some Islamic boarding schools have succeeded in modifying learning methods, one of which is the Darul Faqih Indonesian Islamic Boarding School located in Malang Regency, Indonesia. This community service aims to support efforts to strengthen the digitalisation of Darul Faqih Indonesian Islamic boarding school and direct the development of hybrid Islamic boarding schools after the Covid-19 pandemic. This community service activity consists of two phases. First, at the beginning of the semester, teachers are given training to strengthen the use of learning management systems and mobile apps. In the second phase, the teacher was invited back to conduct a focus group discussion at the end of the implementation. At the end of this service activity, impact measurements were also carried out from a teacher's perspective. A total of 58 teachers participated in this activity. Less than half of teachers have a preference for mixed learning. However, they have high self-efficacy in implementing effective learning to support the implementation of hybrid pesantren. Constraints during mixed learning are appropriate technological and pedagogical support. Despite some challenges, teachers have so far been able to adapt to various online learning methods. Most agree that blended learning can be next as the next main effort towards hybrid pesantren.[Pandemi Covid-19 berdampak pada penutupan hampir semua proses pembelajaran di pondok pesantren. Hanya sebagian pondok pesantren yang berhasil memodifikasi metode pembelajaran, salah satunya adalah Pondok Pesantren Darul Faqih Indonesia yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Malang, Indonesia. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan dukungan dalam upaya penguatan digitalisasi pesantren Darul Faqih Indonesia dan mengarahkan pada pembangunan pesantren hibrid pasca pandemi Covid-19. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini terdiri dari dua fase. Pertama, pada awal semester, guru diberikan pelatihan untuk penguatan penggunaan learning manajemen system dan mobile app. Fase kedua, di akhir penerapan, guru diundang kembali untuk melakukan Focus Group Discussion. Di akhir kegiatan pengabdian ini juga dilakukan pengukuran dampak berupa perspektif guru. Sebanyak 58 guru berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan ini. Kurang dari separuh guru yang memiliki preferensi terhadap pembelajaran campuran. Namun, mereka memiliki efikasi diri yang tinggi dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran yang efektif untuk mendukung implementasi pesantren hibrid. Kendala selama pembelajaran campuran adalah dukungan teknologi dan pedagogi yang tepat dan sesuai. Meskipun ada beberapa tantangan, guru sejauh ini mampu beradaptasi dengan berbagai metode pembelajaran daring, dan mayoritas setuju bahwa pembelajaran campuran dapat diterapkan selanjutnya sebagai upaya utama menuju pesantren hibrid.]

Abstract

There are several main indicators that can be used to assess the quality of sourdough starter, namely pH, dough volume, and the presence and diversity of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). Meanwhile, the addition of natural ingredients such as fermented Ambon bananas is considered to be able to improve the quality of sourdough starters, by increasing the number and diversity of LAB. This study is a comparative exploratory study that compares the quality of sourdough starters made with fermented Ambon bananas (Type III) and those made without Ambon bananas (Type I), and identifies the diversity of LAB in both. This study showed that all parameters are better in type III than in type I, where the pH is lower, the dough develops faster and has a larger volume, and the number of LAB is higher. Meanwhile, the LAB contained in Type III is more diverse (Lactobacillus pentosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus paraplantarum) compared to Type I, which only contains one isolate (Lactobacillus pentosus). Based on the results found, sourdough with the addition of Ambon banana fermentation can produce better starter quality and contains more diverse LAB, namely heterofermentative and homofermentative.Keywords: sourdough starter, fermented ambon banana fruit, lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract

Questions about the origins of humanity are challenging and motivating inquiries that can serve as a tool to encourage students to think critically. That context can also be provided to students when discussing the integration of science and religion. In this study, we measured the effectiveness of science and religion integration training specifically for Muslim students. This training intervention consists of three seminars, namely the integration of science and Islam methods, the context of human origins, and its writing, each developed by a mixed team of science and religion experts. By combining training observations and reflective essays, this study evaluates the training approach and how the program influences students' opinions/beliefs about the compatibility of science and religion. Specifically, this study explores students' ability to engage in critical thinking and express themselves when faced with explanations of science and religion simultaneously. As a result, there was a change in the beliefs of the students before and after the training, where the students shifted their opinions towards a more reconciliatory stance. However, the presence of a small number of students who are moving in opposite directions encourages educators to explore various methodologies for integrating science and religion that are more appropriate. Overall, this research contributes to the fundamental understanding of how students interpret science and religion, as well as the pedagogical approaches that can be used to navigate their interpretations from conflict to integration.

Abstract

Science learning in higher education is often detached from students' cultural context, thus reducing the relevance of the material and scientific concepts being learned. This study aims to examine how student involvement in a biosynthesis experiment of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Plantago major L. and its antibacterial activity testing can improve students' understanding and attitudes regarding cultural context and science content. The study used a mixed-methods approach involving 34 Biology students in a series of laboratory activities, pretest-posttest knowledge evaluations, and narrative reflections. The characterization results showed an absorbance peak of AgNPs at 460 nm and indicated nanoparticles with uniform size. Meanwhile, AgNPs showed higher antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus than Salmonella typhi. Bayesian paired t-test analysis showed a significant increase in students' knowledge scores, and narrative reflections revealed a strengthening of attitudes towards recognizing culture as a source of science learning. These findings indicate that local resource-based laboratory learning activities are not only biologically relevant but also effective in shaping students' scientific understanding and are culturally meaningful.
